More affordable houses are set to be built in Cardiff as plans to demolish buildings next to a former milk factory have been approved. A mix of 35 houses and apartments will be built on the current site of the Mele & Co warehouse on Sanatorium Road in Canton.
The proposals include plans for a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments and houses that will be built on land next to the site of the Cardiff milk factory development. The site of the former milk factory, Milk and More, will make way for affordable housing with over 50 apartments and 15 townhouses.
Developers submitted their plans to Cardiff Council in March and said there is "an unmet demand for affordable housing in this area of Cardiff". The new affordable houses will join other new developments that have seen hundreds of homes built in recent years, such as the huge Mill development. The proposals have been submitted by United Welsh Housing Association under the Harmoni Homes Limited brand, with plans for buildings that range between two and four storeys.
